Title: 1951 Press Photo of a Haitian Worker with a bale fresh-cut sisal leaves PHOTO DESCRIPTION: The back of the photo reads: Haiti Harvesting record $10,000,000.00 Sisal Crop to make rope in U.S. Defense ProgramPart-Au-Prince, Haiti (April 00, 1951)… Some 15,000 workers on this little Caribbean Island are now engaged in the biggest sisal harvest in Haiti’s history. Sisal is used mainly to make rope and by the end of 1951 a minimum of 40,000 tons of processed sisal fibers will have been shipped to the United States to revive the cordage shortage. It’s one of Haiti’s biggest contributions to the U.S. defense programThe world is short of cordage fibers. The U.S., largest consumer of fibers for marine rope, binder and other twines and cordages, needs for more than its can get. Haiti, by planting several thousand extra acres to sisal in 1950, has gone a long way towards filling U.S. needs.A fibrous, tropical plant introduced into Haiti in the early 1920’s, sisal is the best known substitute for Manila hemp, grown in the Philippines. But the Philippines produces annually only about 70,000 tons of hemp, of which the U.S. share is some 49,000 tons — a fraction of U.S. total fibre requirements. Hence the importance of sisal. In World War II, when Manila hemp supplies were halted by the Japanese, Haiti’s sisal was said to have «won the war for the U.S. Navy.»Other supplies of sisal come from Brazil, British East Africa, Portuguese East and West Africa, Mexico and Java. Total world production is in the neighborhood of 30,000 tons yearly, of which 190,000 tons is produced in the sterling area.In Haiti, cultivated by machine and hand methods, sisal requires three years to reach maturity. It is then harvested the year round over a four-year period by selective cutting. The fields are allowed to lie fallow for a year before replanting begins. Sisal grows well in Haiti’s dry soil and apparently is not subject to plant disease.About 90% of Haiti’s sisal output comes from two American owned and one Haitian Government owned plantations totaling 50,000 acres. Dauphin, (American) the largest, produces 30,000 tons and employs 7,000 persons.Haiti’s sisal exports exceeded $9,000,000 last year and are expected this year to reach or exceed $10,000,000Photo shows: A Haitian worker drops his bale of fresh-cut sisal leaves onto a pile, ready for the stripping operation.
